Everybody wanted me to be rich and famous on my art. And I said no to all the commercials and all the seedy offers.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I went to a few really bad commercial auditions because I needed the money, and when you booked a commercial, your life was made: you could eat.
My first audition was for a commercial for the lottery. I didn't get it, so I hate the lottery.
I get offered to do stuff where the money's nice but it's not something I want to do - I get offered a lot of commercials too.
I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.
Back in the day, if you did any commercials or were affiliated with a company you were a sellout. Now it's kind of normal to do that.
I wanted to be successful, not famous.
I never wanted to be rich or successful or famous. I just wanted to be happy and have fun.
I was a commercial girl. In drama school, I was a mediocre model occasionally to pick up some extra cash, and because clearly I'm not six feet tall, and I had baby weight, I would mainly just would do promotional stuff.
I was a bartender in New York and I overheard this girl saying she made $3000 doing a commercial. A kid at work told me, 'Hey, I know this director and he'd really like you!'. So I walked into this guy's office and was like 'I was thinking maybe I could make $3000' and he hired me for commercials, short films, like 15 jobs in a row.
I was young and so eager to make some money as well as get exposed and show my talent.
